Chapter 790: Leave it to someone later

Although Liao Hua was a henchman sent by Liu Bei, he was not the kind of person who did not know how to advance or retreat, seeing that he was surrounded by the Flying Tiger Army, he gave up his plan to break through by force, and honestly mixed in the 20,000 Liaodong New Army, and accepted the surrender of the Flying Tiger Army.

Liao Hua knew very well in his heart that with the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 Liaodong New Army now, let alone fighting hard with the 20,000 Flying Tiger Army, even the 5,000 Flying Tiger Army could slaughter their own 20,000 soldiers within half an hour.

However, Dian Wei is not so easy to fool, after he completely controlled the 20,000 new troops in Liaodong, he immediately collected the weapons and armor of the surrendered troops, and then let these surrendered troops identify each other, and all the leaders of the new army among the generals were identified, including Liao Hua.

Dian Wei had Jiao Touch and Liao Hua kept under close guard, and the rest of the Liao army leaders were also locked up in solitary form, completely isolated from ordinary soldiers, avoiding the root cause of the riots. Because these surrendered troops were all Han people from Liaodong, Dian Wei did not intend to kill them from the beginning, but sent his capable generals to take some grassroots officers to be responsible for the pacification and management of the surrender of three or five hundred people, so that the Liaodong New Army could familiarize itself with the Flying Tiger Army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners and not make dangerous and useless resistance.

After doing these things, Dian Wei threw the 20,000 surrendered troops to Zhang Xiu, and then escorted the more than 20,000 Goguryeo, Karasuma and Xianbei surrendered troops captured by the Blue Wolf Army in the city of Susheng Bone, and swaggered westward. The second phase of the Northeast War has ended, and the Flying Tiger Army still has more important tasks, so Dian Wei is in a hurry to leave with his troops.

The 20,000 Liaodong New Army and the more than 20,000 Goguryeo, Karasuma and Xianbei troops are completely different in nature, the Liaodong New Army is all Han and belongs to the forces that can be united and recruited, while the more than 20,000 troops of the three tribes are the source of the trouble, and they must be resolutely and completely brought out of the northeast and handed over to the Youzhou Muchen Palace for disposal. According to custom, the more than 20,000 remnants of Goguryeo, Karasuma, and Xianbei surrendered troops will spend the rest of their lives in the government-run mines of Youzhou. If you don't kill them, you are already benevolent.

The Liaodong New Army had seen the ferocity of the "Fuyu" army outside the Susheng Bone City, so when Dian Wei handed them over to Zhang Xiu, everyone became more honest and did not dare to go against Zhang Xiu's wishes.

Zhang Xiu sent a team of cavalry to escort Liao Hua and the big and small heads of the Liaodong New Army to Changchun City, while the remaining New Army soldiers stayed in Susheng Bone City.

For the strange name of Susheng Bone City, the blue wolf army unanimously expressed their disgust, so Zhang Xiu renamed Susheng Bone City Longgang City on the grounds of nearby Longgang Mountain.

Longgang City, which sounds really magnificent, has won the praise of the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Army.

In Zhang Xiu's view, the geographical location of Longgang City is very important, not only in the upper reaches of Mazishui, but also between Longgang Mountain and Changbai Mountain, just stuck in the Goguryeo people's penetration to the west, and close to Xiangping, the capital of eastern Liaodong, as long as you occupy this place, you can control the overall situation of the northeast.

Since Longgang City is so important, it is worth building a large garrison city here to lay the foundation for future operations.

As for how to build cities, the Blue Wolf Army now has a wealth of experience. In the hands of Zhang Xiu, the big city of Changchun and the waterfront town of Tongliao have been built one after another, and now there is one more Longgang City, but it is just a waste of some manpower and material resources.

Now from Rao Leshui upstream to Tongliao and then to Changchun, and finally to the front line of Longgang City, has been completely mastered and controlled by the Blue Wolf Army, and the materials and personnel of Youzhou can completely bypass the Linyu Fortress garrisoned by Liaodong soldiers, and after crossing the water from Yuyang County to the north, they will follow Rao Leshui all the way east to Tongliao Town, and then under the protection of the patrol cavalry of the Blue Wolf Army, they will arrive where they want to go.

Zhang Xiu just asked people to organize 20,000 Liaodong troops to seize the time to build Longgang City, and it seems that he has no intention of taking advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the Goguryeo clan, could it be that he still has any concerns and arrangements?

If you talk about concerns or arrangements, Zhang Xiu does have some.

Now the situation in Liaodong has become increasingly clear. After the death of Gongsun Du, the two brothers Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong hid in Xiangping and trapped Le Lang. The 10,000 Liaodong soldiers who were originally stationed in the Linyu fortress in Liaoxi County have now become an important force that both brothers want to fight for, and the 20,000 Liaodong naval army, which has never played any role, has also been suppressed by the aggressive Jin naval division in a sea area at the mouth of the Great Liaoshui Sea, unable to play a real role.

For the troops left by Gongsun Du, Zhang Xiu still wants to win them all without bloodshed, after all, these soldiers are all composed of Han people, and they are an important force that can be trusted and recruited in the northeast region. If the 10,000 Liao troops in Linyu can be successfully integrated, the 20,000 Liao army and naval divisions at the mouth of the Great Liao River, and the 5,000 soldiers in Lelang County, then Zhang Xiu will have more than 60,000 Liaodong troops in his hands.

From these high-quality reserve troops, Zhang Xiu could completely select an infantry unit with a number of up to 40,000 to form a new army, which would be used as an important force to control the eastern Liaodong region in the future.

The Blue Wolf Army is a cavalry unit, and it is naturally an unrivaled force on the Liaodong Plain, but there are many large and small mountain ranges in the entire Northeast region, especially the area of the domestic city occupied by the Goguryeo people at present, which is located at the foot of the Changbai Mountains. Therefore, the formation of an infantry army has become a task that Zhang Xiu urgently needs to complete.

Judging from the news that came from the Samhan Peninsula a few days ago, the Montenegrin army, under the leadership of Zhang Yan and Jamu, is steadily advancing northward, and the Benhan tribes that they drove to the north are now crowded with the Mahan people and are coming in the direction of Lelang County. The Jinhan Section, which is close to the eastern part of the Samhan Peninsula, has also begun to engage in bloody clashes with the Zhan tribe in the immediate vicinity of Goguryeo.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, Zhang Xiu will see the Goguryeo people, the Lelang Han army, and the Sanhan and Zhanqi tribes huddled together, fighting to the death between the narrow east of Mazishui and the Miaoxiang Mountains and the Wolf Forest Mountains. By the time these chaotic tribes had almost exhausted their vital strength, Zhang Xiu had just completed the formation and training of the new army, and as long as the division went south to form a north-south attack with the Montenegrin army, he could completely solve the problem of alien nationalities in the northeast.

Although Zhang Xiu's thinking is very clear, he does not intend to organize and implement the follow-up war and deployment by himself, he wants to give up the current very favorable situation to a descendant to control. Not only that, Zhang Xiu also plans to assign all the members of the Little Tiger team to this junior, and then equip them with the most effective generals at all levels to help this junior train a large army with his own hands!

Zhang Xiu values this Niu Cha descendant so much, who is he?
